MADDEN CARRIES OFF THE HoNoRs IN
BOSTON.
Over 300 spectators witnessed the formal
opening Of the base ball season on the Bos-
ton grounds yesterday, when two six in
ming games were played by II Of the IS men
under contract to the Boston club, assisted
by one outsider. The men were literally
applauded as they came upon the field, and
nearly all received handsome receptions az
they came TO the bat Tor the hrst time. Kef-
ly did not seem to think it worth while to
waste his energies,in scrub game, but kept
sharp oversight Of the players. Madden
carried off the honors Of the day. He had
good control of the ball and watched the
bases well. He struck out four men in six
innings. Conway, on the contrary was hit
hard and often. His manner was careless,
and he was somewhat wild. O'ROurke held
Stemmeyer well, and Higgins made favor
able Impression at second base. Wheelock
did not play owing to sprain. The other
men appeared to good advantage. The first
game resulted in victory for the picked nine
by score OF to 1, through the inability Of
the regular team to hit Madden. In this
game the men were placed as follows:
Picked Nine-Sutton, IS; Poorman, RI; Wright,
II II Higgins, 2b Tate, G; Murphy, abi Lloyd, ID;
Boston Hornung, II; Wise, IS; Kelly, IF; Nash
30; morrill,, lbi Johnson, CT; Burdock, %; Rad
bonrn, p; Daily, C.
Stemmeyer astonished everyone in the sec
ond game BY his hard hitting and fast base
running. This game resulted 10 to in favor
OF the regular nine, the positions being as
follows:
Boston-Hornung, II; WISE IS; Kelly, IF; Nash
sd; morrill,, 10; johnson, CT; BurdOck, 2b; Stem

In the opening game Of base ball Of the
season at Lowell, Mass, yesterday, the Low
ellis were defeated by the Dartmouth Col
